I've noticed a lot of posters quoting their feelings of MFCSS in the lead up to our Preliminary Final against Geelong.

It's time we reclaimed this negative acronym, make it our own and wear it with pride.

My proposal is that, henceforth, we assign the following meaning to the term:

Melbourne  Football  Club  September  Specialists

You've gone the early crow on that.

Let's revisit that in (hopefully) 2 weeks time.

No, stuff it.  Enough of the negativity, the doom and gloom and pessimism, the whining and moaning, thinking that the AFL and the umpires have it in for us, that we never have any luck, the self pitying and all that feeble-minded talk of curses, upsetting the footy gods, tempting fate and all that superstitious nonsense.

The time is now.  2021 is our year.  Be positive, have belief, support our boys, think like a winner, embrace success and enjoy life as a Melbourne supporter.

Go Demons.

 

I can’t change anything I’ve been doing all year or else it will jinx everything.  If negativity and angst is the cosmic secret to our success, then I need to keep doing it.

I like it. Positive thinking. 

Sorry demonstone but the true meaning of MFCSS is so deeply ingrained in my soul that the only cure is a premiership.

 

Im [censored] myself. I don’t call that negativity just being nervous. 

happy to adopt your approach after we win a flag though 🙂

For me, it is gone.

Mysterious, inexplicable, and I don't know exactly when.

I'm just not afraid any more. Not in the MFCSS way.

For any given week or during any given game I'll be riding the details hard and feeling all the highs and lows, but I don't have that steady fog of anticipated miserableness.

I worry about a bad game, I don't worry about a broken and humiliated club.

Ease up. You're trying too hard. Take a chill pill, relax and watch the footy as it happens. 

I'm kind of late to this party. What does MFCSS actually stand for? 😅🙈

Same.
I haven't watched any opposition games all year and refuse to start now.
Missed a good game last night apparently.

I worry about poor kicking for goal.
Not taking our chances.

Oh ... And injuries.

Melbourne Football Club Supporter Syndrome.

Translated as:  always expect the worst.; Murphy's law says..., the sky is falling, a cloud in every silver lining, Norm Smith's curse, etc.

Bump!

On ice for a little longer, Mr Stone!

Meanwhile, Melbourne Football Club Supporter Stirrings?

Mine kicked in when May limped off with his injury.

RIP MFCSS

[censored] you MFCSS. We are the greatest team of all time. Fight me!

MFCSS got me  in the end. I won't lie. In the early parts of that 3rd quarter I thought we'd run our race. We were flat, and had nothing left.

I was wrong.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
